Food and nutrition play a powerful role in preventing and stimulating hair regrowth. All cells require energy to function and survive. So the health of hair follicles are dependent of the energetic state of the cells that make them. youtu.be/MUJTh4Vgfdo #PCOS #hairloss

Are you listening to your body? Are you working on mitigating the stressors in your life? The symptoms we experience are messages sent by the body. We need to take a step back & reassess all things in our life from diet, lifestyle, spiritual & mindset. #PCOS #Health #nutrition

The body requires a steady supply of glucose to fuel cells. When the body isn't given glucose, it goes through a process called gluconeogenesis to make it. Stress hormones like cortisol rise to break down muscle protein. The liver uses amino acids to create glucose #PCOS #Health

The aim isn't to completely avoid blood sugar spikes, of course if you have a meal containing carbs, your blood sugar will spike. We should be working to avoid the chronically elevated spikes that take several hours to come down (a sign glucose isn't being used efficiently) #PCOS

It’s normal for blood sugar to fluctuate slightly throughout the day. However, frequent blood sugar swings over time causes chronic inflammation and damage to the body's blood vessels and nerves. #PCOS #bloodsugar #bloodsugarbalance

The body requires a steady supply of glucose to fuel our cells and keep blood sugar levels stable. Cells are able to switch between fuel sources. When #bloodsugar levels are stable, energy levels, mood, appetite, memory, & concentration improve youtu.be/lrLioxqZFAU #PCOS

When you start to make changes to your diet it's common to focus on calories & macronutrients. Understanding the 3 macronutrients is a great starting point & foundational to any nutrition plan. But it's important to also understand what minerals the body needs to function #PCOS

⚠️Stop Avoiding Saturated Fat! Coconut oil isn't bad 🥥Coconut oil is different to other fats. It consists of medium chain triglycerides (MCT) which digest differently than other fats. #coconutoil #health #PCOS

Are you experiencing any? But what most people don't realise is that just because you may not have had a stressful day at work or you don't have any imminent deadlines etc, you can't be in a fight or flight mode/in a stressed out state. #PCOS #womenshealth #health

Leaky gut, also known as increased intestinal permeability refers to the tight junctions of intestinal walls becoming larger, making the gut more permeable, therefore allowing bacteria and toxins to pass through the gut and into the bloodstream pcosoracle.com/9-signs-of-lea… #PCOS
